The chicks spend the whole day with the flock

I went out at five o’clock this morning to make sure the chicks were okay with the main flock. Everything was fine with no bother at all.

I put lots of dishes of mash around the run at mid morning to make the sure the chicks were feeding okay. I watched over them to make sure they got their fair share and it all went well. I checked on them through out the day and they all seem to be getting along fine.

If the big girls run at the chicks the chicks are so fast that they soon evade them and they know all the escape routes and high perches so they are able to keep themselves out of harms way.

I am really pleased how well it is going. I will do the same tonight as last night and help the chicks to their flower pots if they look stressed. I think they are pretty much one flock now and they all seem happy to get along which is great.
